Sudan's threat to shut down South Sudan's oil exports over its alleged support for rebels in Sudan will not spark a return to armed hostility as long as Sudan respects a security agreement reached earlier this year, a South Sudanese military official said Monday.
South Sudanese army spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said, however, that any violations of an African Union-mediated pact signed in March would be taken as an act of provocation.
"The oil can be shut down," he said from Juba, South Sudan's capital. "What may amount to a declaration of war is if the security agreements that have been reached are violated. Oil is just a bilateral agreement which the Sudanese government has the choice to accept or not to accept."
Aguer said Sudan had yet to implement President Omar al-Bashir's recent order to close pipelines carrying South Sudan's oil exports over charges the government in Juba supports armed rebels seeking to topple the Sudan's government. Mohammed Atta al-Moula, Sudan's spy chief, told reporters on Sunday that the country also will suspend its security and economic pacts with South Sudan if the country does not end its alleged support for rebels who recently have mounted attacks on the Sudanese army.
Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for the U.S. State Department, told reporters in Washington that Sudan's threat to shut down oil pipelines "is deeply disappointing."
She said implementing this threat would be a "violation of Sudan's obligations under the September 27th agreements, which only allow for a shutdown with 60 days of notice for economic or technical reasons ..."
South Sudan _which also accuses Sudan of supporting a rebel group led by a former South Sudanese army colonel named David Yau Yau _denies backing Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North, or SPLM-N, rebels.
"We are not helping any rebels," Aguer said. "The allegations are baseless. It's just because they have been unable to defeat the rebels that they are looking for an explanation elsewhere."
But Small Arms Survey, an independent Swiss research firm, said in a report in April that South Sudan provided logistical, financial and political support, but not weapons, to rebels fighting the Sudanese military. The group said South Sudan's government is providing vehicles, fuel and food to SPLM-N fighters and other rebel groups. The SPLM-N operates on the Sudan side of the border between the two countries but is ideologically aligned with South Sudan.
South Sudan, which gained independence from Sudan in 2011 after decades of civil war, pumps its crude exports through pipelines that run through Sudan. In early 2012 South Sudan charged that Sudan was stealing its oil and then shut down its oil industry, a decision that crippled the government budgets of both countries.
Since their 2011 division there has been fighting between the two countries, and threats to resume hostilities. International mediators including the African Union have been working to keep the peace and normalize relations between the Sudans.
Sudan and South Sudan signed an agreement in March that the United Nations said improved border security and could "lead to the permanent resolution of outstanding issues between the two countries."
Associated Press reporter Matthew Lee in Washington contributed to this report.

A Night At The Opera
The Marx Brothers - Groucho, Chico, and Harpo - were actual brothers (their early stage act included another brother, Gummo, and in a couple early films he was replaced by Zeppo). Going from Vaudeville to Broadway then to the big screen, the Marx Brothers were a completely original act. Their formula, which is still in use today, was the classic snobs vs. the slobs, but what really made them memorable was the mix of smartass one-liners (from Groucho and Chico) and fantastic physical comedy (usually associated with the mute Harpo). After a half dozen films that progressively got better they really hit their stride with Duck Soup in 1933 and then made their true masterpiece with their next film, A Night At The Opera, a perfectly subversive film and still one of the funniest screen comedies of all time.
Groucho plays Otis B. Driftwood, a con man working the Opera scene in Italy. He is hired by the clueless widow, Mrs. Claypool (Margaret Dumont), to help her break into proper society. Meanwhile the egomaniacal star of the opera, Lassparri (Walter Woolf King), abuses his dresser (Harpo) and sexually harasses the company's young ingénue, Rosa (Kitty Carlisle), who is in love with the less successful, but equally talented tenor, Riccardo (Allan Jones, playing the Zeppo, straight man role). Riccardo is managed by Fiorello (Chico) who hustles Otis into signing him to a contract. As the opera company sets sail to New York the three Marx Brothers follow it in order to help the young lovers reunite, make some cash, and bring down the arrogant Lassparri.Continue Reading

Pesticide Application Procedures
Course Description
Today's pest management practices require modern equipment to apply a variety of pesticides. Pesticides may be
applied as sprays, dusts, granules, gases (vapors), fogs, baits, rubs, or dips. The vast array of application equipment must
be matched to the pesticide as well as to the size and type of the job. To make an effective, safe, and efficient application,
read the label first. In addition, you must properly select, operate, calibrate, and maintain your equipment.
After completing this course participants will be able to:
- Identify the factors (e.g., nozzles, volumes, pressures, and speeds) that affect calibration.
- Demonstrate how to determine the amount of pesticide concentrate and diluent to use.
- Explain how to choose appropriate drift reduction practices.
Chapter 1 – Pesticide Application Procedures
Lesson 1
- Application methods
- Safety systems
- Application equipment
- Equipment calibration
Lesson 2
- Calibration
- Calculating area
- Calculating the application rate
- Techniques to minimize drift
Final Assessment
Course instructors will be available by email or telephone between 8am and 6pm Eastern Standard Time. They will assist you with questions regarding course content.

Join The Friday File To Read The Rest
Keep reading by joining 11,000+ lawyers and get early access to articles like this. You'll find safe, successful, actionable approaches for your law practice. Together, we're less alone and more connected. Join us.
Time management is a recurring issue around here. It comes up constantly as one of the great struggles for lawyers. We've got lots to do and insufficient time to do it.
Here are my best time management tips (they work for me).
1. Keep a list. You've got to have a comprehensive list of your outstanding obligations. It can be on paper or contained in a fancy task management system. Personally, I use Wunderlist: it falls somewhere between paper and fancy. You'll find all kinds of systems for organizing the list (I like Getting Things Done). It's essential that you get the list out of your head and into your system. Until you get it all down somewhere, you'll spend tremendous energy worrying about what you're forgetting.
2. Delegate. Go through your list weekly and decide what you can give away. Don't wait until you're on overload to delegate: do it now. The more time you give your team to do the work, the more likely it is to get done right. The more time you allow, the more likely you are to hand it off since you'll hesitate to let it go when the deadline looms. Keep a list of the tasks you've delegated and set a deadline that gives you time to address the problem if things don't go as planned. Err on the side of delegating more than you think you should: give it all away if you can. That saves you for the highest value activities for which only you are suited.
3. Take 15 minutes tonight to plan for tomorrow. Go through your list and identify the two or three high priorities for tomorrow. When you get going in the morning, you'll know exactly where to put your focus. Never start the day by culling the list and identifying priorities: that should all be done before the day starts so you can attack the important issues first thing. Always finish today with a plan for tomorrow.
4. Stop checking. Stop the constant checking of everything that can be checked. I remember the good old days when mail came once a day. Once it arrived, it was pointless to keep opening the box and looking inside, so I didn't waste time walking back and forth to the mailbox. Now we can check everything all day long: email, voicemail, Facebook, Twitter, and an amazing array of news sources. Do it once, maybe twice per day, and don't look except at designated times. It's easy to fill your day doing nothing but checking the inputs. You've got to regulate yourself or you'll find yourself checking one thing after another and then clicking on link after link as you go further down the rabbit hole.
5. Stop all input. Shut down all input while you're focusing on your task. Be very deliberate and close the door, turn off the ringer, shut down the email program, turn off Skype and instant messenger, and kill Facebook and Twitter. Don't let anything interfere with your single-minded focus. Don't allow instant messenger to send you popups, and make the texts stop on your phone. Figure out how to put everything on hold while you do what needs doing. You'll have time later to check all those inputs when you're finished.
6. One thing at a time. Forget about multitasking: it doesn't work. We'd like to believe we're really good at juggling multiple activities, but we're not. Our brains are willing to start and stop and shift tasks, but the net effect is that we take more time to do less because we're constantly starting and stopping. Don't do more than one thing at a time. Attack your priority and stick with it until you're done. Don't take calls when you're drafting a brief. Don't talk to your paralegal when you're on the phone with a client. Focus, focus, focus and finish the task at hand.
Time management is tricky. When we think we need help, it's usually because we've stopped finishing things and we're seeing our lists get longer and longer while we lose control. The solution is to finish things. You'll feel better when you're able to close out tasks and clear up your list. That's only going to happen when you focus on finishing.

With its lake, its beautiful upland scenery and its ancient beech forests that are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park is an ideal destination for water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers.
This region in northern Hessen, whose ancient beech forests have only recently been awarded World Natural Heritage status by UNESCO, is one of the most popular holiday regions in Germany for walking, cycling and water sports. Rarely do you find an area that offers such a wealth of outdoor pursuits.
Leisure activities on the lake
The crystal-clear waters of Lake Edersee shimmer like a jewel at the heart of the national park. This 27km lake offers everything holidaymakers could wish for. Swimmers can head for the beaches, sailors and windsurfers can venture out on the water and cyclists can trace the shoreline on the well-maintained Eder Cycle Route. There are secluded bays for fishing and picturesque lakeside promenades for relaxing.
A sea of beech trees
Lake Edersee is surrounded by more than 50 hills, which are covered by a sea of beech trees covering almost 6,000 hectares. If you walk through this area on the well-marked trails, you'll discover idyllic valley glades and meandering streams, large-leaved lime trees and ancient oaks, deep gorges with ash and mountain elm, orchid-filled meadows and carpets of cheddar pinks.
The most beautiful wilderness in the world
If you venture even further into the national park on the Edersee Forest Walk, you'll discover its wild and untamed side. This area is home to black storks, grey-headed woodpeckers, wild boars and 14 different species of bat. At Edersee wildlife park, you can get up close to wild animals that were once native to the area such as wolves and wild horses.

In a nation obsessed with professional sports, it's not surprising that many parents and coaches are hoping to nurture the next superstar. After all, kids who excel in their game can get college scholarships and maybe even fame and fortune in the big leagues.
But in a new public service campaign, sports medicine experts caution that those dreams can be seriously derailed early on by injuries that can plague a young athlete for a lifetime.
The campaign features ads showing a team of young baseball players celebrating a victory. The headline asks, "What will they have longer, their trophies or their injuries?"
At a time when increasing numbers of kids are participating in organized sports — and often the same sport year-round — it's an important question to consider, says Dr. Joseph Zuckerman, chairman of orthopedic surgery at the New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). AAOS has teamed up with the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) for the new campaign.
"There's much more of an emphasis in having kids focus on one sport," Zuckerman says.
Serious sports
In generations past, kids played pick-up games of basketball or softball in their neighborhoods, he notes. And organized sports were more seasonal, with the kids playing football in the fall, for instance, and soccer in the summer.
Today, however, many young athletes focus on one sport and they play it year-round through competitive sports leagues and traveling teams. Some kids even have personal coaches.
The problem is that young bodies need to be challenged in different ways, Zuckerman says. Subjected to the same movements repeatedly, the body becomes susceptible to overuse injuries such as stress fractures or tendonitis of the elbows and shoulder joints. And because their bodies are still growing, kids can suffer damage to their growth plates — the areas of cartilage around joints where bone growth occurs.
In some kids, the injuries can cause years of trouble, ruining the chances of an athletic career, Zuckerman says.
More than 3.5 million sports-related injuries were treated in kids under age 15 in 2003, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Besides early specialization in a single sport, there are other factors contributing to the high number of injuries, says Chuck Kimmel, head athletic trainer at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn., and president of NATA.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Some kids do not receive proper pre-participation physicals to assess their readiness for play and they often are grouped according to age rather than skill level, which can be two very different things, he says. In other cases, coaches do not have the players warm up properly, increasing the risk of injury.
Another reason for the increase in injuries is simply that more kids are playing organized sports than ever before, especially girls, says Dr. Jordan Metzl, medical director of the Sports Medicine Institute for Young Athletes at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City and co-author of "The Young Athlete: A Sports Doctor's Complete Guide for Parents."
Too much, too soon
Sports can have wonderful effects on kids, teaching them leadership and teamwork, and helping them to build strong bones and stay fit, says Metzl, who is also a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. But "there is such a thing as too much," he says.
In some cases, the adults are the problem, he says. "There are some parents who are vicariously living out their dreams through their kids and some parents who push kids too hard."
Efforts like the new campaign are needed to help reduce injuries, Metzl says. "We need to really increase the awareness of too much, too soon — which is really different for each kid."
Kimmel advises parents and coaches to "listen to the child." For example, if a young pitcher grimaces when he throws or he comes off the mound rubbing his elbow, then the adult needs to step in. "That's the time to stop," he says, and see a health professional, preferably one with expertise in sports. Other red flags, he says, include pain in and around joints and difficulty walking up and down stairs.
Kids also need breaks between sports seasons, he emphasizes, rather than year-round training in one sport.
Metzl advises parents that any time a child is having trouble doing a sport because of pain, "get it checked out." Kids should not be expected to push through the pain.
Experts also stress that the solution to the rising toll of sports injuries is not to take more kids out of sports. Rather, there needs to be more emphasis on how the games are played.
At a time when obesity is skyrocketing among children, it's important that they be active. The key to doing it safely, though, is participation in a variety of activities.
Young athletes who sustain injuries are not exercising too much, emphasizes Kimmel. "They're doing one thing too much."

As a field of study, mathematics is unique. Known as "The Queen of the Sciences," it is the purest form of quantitative analytical reasoning and thus has applications to almost every other science. In fact, many sciences rely so heavily on mathematics that their most important questions are, fundamentally, math problems.
Mathematics is a powerful and versatile major. Students with degrees in mathematics are highly sought after in a variety of industries because employers know that success in mathematics requires strong problem solving abilities and outstanding analytical skills. This means math majors are very marketable. Math majors are also strong candidates for medical school, law school, high tech industries, finance industries, or graduate school in any of a variety of different fields, including engineering, economics, finance, and computer science.
Will mathematics courses help me in my chosen major?
If you are majoring in engineering, finance, economics, political science, psychology, or any other science, then you will find that the coursework in your major relies heavily on math. To have the best opportunity to do well in those courses and absorb the material, it can be very beneficial to identify and take the appropriate math course. For recommendations to assist in choosing the classes that will help broaden your knowledge – given your interests – check out our Course Sequences by Career Path.
What about a double major?
Using mathematics as a supplement to your primary major can make your future job or graduate school applications much stronger. Potential employers and graduate school admissions committees know that the study of mathematics requires and develops strong problem-solving skills, comprehension of abstract concepts, and creative thinking ability; all highly desirable qualities in applicants to almost any field or industry.
In addition, many of them know that the applicant who will be successful working with them will need specific mathematical skills thus putting the applicant with a math major at the top of their list.

Some of the plant hybrids barely have any thorns.Fresh tiny flower closeups. Euphorbia millis named Small-Pinks, among the gardeners. The tiny pink flowers photographed from gardens somewhere in Kerala the south Indian state. Just a morning snap of the fresh flower with dewdrops sprinkled over.
Small light red Flowers of Euphorbia plant hybrids. The flower has a little peculiarity of a small curl of petals at the middle. The flowers of Euphorbia's have a variety of colours ranging from red to white. Some flowers are having a combination of colours blended over the petals. Usually euphorbia flowers have a life time of weeks provided the temperature and moisture in the atmosphere and soil are normal. Plants of Euphorbia milliis are drought resistant eventhough may seem a little dull during severe summer season.

A recent Columbia Daily Tribune article highlights A Fragile Nation In Poor Health, a recent study by the for-profit corporation TeleVox Software showing that about "four out of five Midwesterners admit they don't follow treatment plans exactly as prescribed, and more than one-third said they could better follow those plans with encouragement from their doctors between visits" (from the article).
Fortunately for the newspaper's readers, the journalist goes on to include a response from Geni Alexander, public information officer for the Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services, who said, "We would be very careful basing" programs "strictly off that study" because it makes the case for technology that TeleVox sells. The article goes on to cite other quality resources that support some of the study's findings while not endorsing the TeleVox healthcare product line, which includes automated messaging systems, website hosting, and other tools "not just stay in touch but actually engage their patients while saving money in the process" (from the company website).
Health sciences libraries are in the business of helping patrons find evidence-based health and medical information.

On the first day of class I gave the students an info/survey so that I could learn a little more about themselves. Well, one of the questions I asked at the end of the survey was "If you could meet one Saint who would it be and why?" Here were my favorite answers:
1. The saint I would most like to meet is Drew Brees. He is a great athlete and really anchors the offense.Looks like I have some work cut out for me.
2. Saint Paul because he was the first Pope.
3. I would like to meet Reggie Bush because he is a versatile player and a real offensive weapon that keeps the other teams guessing.
4. Saint Francis because he liked animals.

We probed, we prodded, we tried. Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto has a shot at locking up his third-straight Monster Energy Supercross Championship tonight, and we were hoping to find some nugget of information, some sign that something was different for him today.
Not happening. Over in the Monster Energy Kawasaki pits, RV was joking around with everyone in sight, and showed no signs of nerves at all. This is typical RV. While his on-track aggression and overall commitment to excellence might tell the story of a really serious guy, Villopoto and his team have done a good job with having fun at the races. At this level, the pressure and nerves can undo all the hard work during the week. When you see Villopoto inside the Kawi truck, smiling and laughing the whole time, it's not an accident--you have to literally build fun into the program to make the big moments, like tonight, that much easier to get.
He's won this title two-straight times, so he's been through this drill before, and certainly this is nothing compared to his 2011 triumph here, which was done in the midst of much closer championship chase.
We asked his mechanic, Mike Williamson, about the extra pressure of trying to seal the title. There isn't any that he will admit to. He said, "Oh yeah, I stripped the bike all the way down to the frame and rebuilt it from the ground up…just like I do every week." He said he did nothing different at all compared to previous weeks. "Hey, if there were something different that I could do to make it better this week, I'd do it all the time."
Williamson summed it up with this: "The goal is the same that it is every week. Try to win the race."
Then we turned to trainer Aldon Baker, who echoed Williamson's thoughts. "Our goal is to try to win the race," he said. There you go.
Baker did say wrapping the title would help in outdoor prep, as they might be able to trade out an extra day of moto testing next week. Regardless, though, Ryan is at least scheduled for a whole day of outdoor testing on Tuesday next week. Williamson will tear down tonight's race bike on Monday, test with the outdoor bike on Tuesday, then put the Vegas SX bike back together on Wednesday to get it off and rolling to Vegas. Will it already be the title-winning bike, though?
Sealing the title tonight would give Villopoto's plans for Lucas Oil Motocross a boost.

Today in practice Ryan did have a few crashes, they were minor but they were crashes nonetheless. The hard, slick track here probably doesn't lend itself quite as well to Ryan's throttle-happy steer-with-the-rear-wheel style as some of the tracks in the east do, but we're splitting hairs here—obviously, RV can go fast on anything.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle will be the title competition itself. Davi Millsaps, second in points, was fastest in both timed sessions today. Ryan Dungey, third in points, was second. Villopoto was third-fastest. Villopoto essentially needs to finish ahead of both to wrap the title tonight, so it's going to be close. He could be just a few hours away from being a three-time Monster Energy Supercross Champion. He's doing his best to act like it doesn't matter.

|The Photographic Society of America's (PSA) week-long International Annual Conference offers you the opportunity to improve your photographic skills by participating in a myriad of activities. The conference is an educational and networking experience held each year in September or October in a different US city. An overview of the rich culture of the conference is found in the history of the PSA Annual Conference that was prepared for the PSA 75th Anniversary.
During a conference, registrants participate in classes, workshops, instructional photo shoots and photo tours. The opening of the conference is a business meeting which also recognizes member achievements with award presentations.
Each of the various PSA divisions hold their business meeting, open to all conference attendees, during the conference. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how each division contributes to the society as a whole.
At each conference, the Society's extensive Print Collection is on exhibit. World-renowned speakers present timely topics of interest followed by receptions. Many photography vendors have displays and demonstrate and answer questions about their products and services which help with purchasing decisions. The conference ends with a formal banquet, recognizing top achievers in photography and honoring the many volunteers who have made PSA successful.
The PSA International Conference, one of the best networking events of the year, is open to PSA members and non-members. It is a great way to meet people who share the same passion, have a personal encounter with accomplished photographers, improve skills, learn more about PSA and renew longtime acquaintances. For many members, it is their first PSA activity.
The tabs on the left provide up-to-date information about the conference as the various workshops, classes, tours, programs and speakers are organized. Online registration for the conference and the hotel opens around the beginning of May.

Rating: no ratingThe World's first 24mm fixed wide-angle lenses to feature optical IS technology. Ideal for landscape and reportage, both lenses offer outstanding flexibility allowing photographers to shoot an even broader range of scenes and subjects combining fast apertures with IS to enable sharp results when shooting handheld, even in low light conditions.
Offering an advantage of up to 4-stops over lenses without IS, both lenses are ideal for capturing more of the scene thanks to their wider focal lengths. Both feature a wide f/2.8 aperture, allowing photographers to explore shallow depth of field, or to shoot in lower-light conditions. Wide apertures and IS technology also make each lens ideal for shooting fast-moving subjects, while Canons advanced IS technology is able to detect intentional panning movement and automatically switch from Normal IS mode to Panning IS mode helping users to capture movement with greater accuracy.
Silent, high-speed AF performance is provided by the inclusion of a ring-type USM and additional features including optimized AF control. Full-time manual focusing also ensures adjustments can be made even when AF is engaged, while a minimum focusing distance of 0.20m (EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM) and 0.23m (EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM) allows photographers to get even closer to smaller or more detailed subjects.

How far is too far when it comes to attacking primary candidates? *UPDATED*
As the primary season heats up, here's a good question to ask: If we want to end the primary season with a viable political candidate to face off against Barack Obama, are there limits limits to the nature of the attacks that bloggers launch against the Republican candidates during this primary season?
My take is that it is very important for us to learn as many facts as possible about the candidates, whether we're learning good things or bad. However, I'm not yet ready to leap up and castigate any candidate as the devil incarnate. (Even Ron Paul, whom I would not like to see win, can be challenged through facts, not hyperbolic insults.)
As we learned in 2008, there are no perfect Republican candidates. Unfortunately, the other lesson we've learned in the last 2.5 years is that Obama is a perfectly scary Democrat president/candidate. This means that, when the Republican primary ends, we need the last Republican candidate still standing to have the strength to face off against Obama. If we inflict too many wounds against our own people, the primary winner may be so weakened, s/he cannot win the final, presidential battle. Further, if s/he's bleeding badly from the ideological wounds we inflict, Independents will shy away, as they will almost certainly be incapable of discerning between the wounds inflicted during internecine conflict from the type of fatal flaws that spell death at the presidential polls.
As of today, I can easily say yucky things about every one of the Republicans now seeking office (especially Ron Paul):
(1) Michele Bachmann has no more executive experience than Obama did at this stage in the game, and we all rightly predicted that he was grossly unprepared for high executive office;
(2) Paul Ryan, should he weigh in, will also lack that experience, plus he's got a geeky quality that might not play well in the media;
(3) Mitt Romney has the RomneyCare albatross and all the charm (and good looks) of a Ken doll;
(4) Ron Paul takes libertarianism to an inhuman extreme that includes jettisoning the nation of Israel and supporting Iran's quest for nuclear arms;
(5) Rick Perry tried to strong-arm Gardasil, whether because of fear of cancer, ties with Merck, power lust, or something else, plus he's kind of smarmy;
(6) Chris Christie, should he weigh in, has sharia ties, offends people with his outspokeness, and will have to fight the fat-taboo that governs in America.
And on and on and on. (Please note that, with the exception of Ron Paul, who seriously rubs me the wrong way, I can just as easily say a whole lot of good things about the candidates and potential candidates listed above.)
The fact is, nobody makes it very far in political office without chutzpah, arrogance, a touch of insanity, and a whole lot of compromising. The only people who don't make mistakes are those who don't do anything at all. Being an inert lump doesn't get one far, especially politically.
My current candidate of choice is the William Buckley candidate — the one who can win. There is no Churchill on the horizon and even Churchill, a politician I admire with something approaching ferocity, had his disastrous qualities and made horrible decisions that resulted in uncounted deaths. He was, nevertheless, a leader, and his core values were the right ones, especially during a time when those values were so desperately important to the survival of the Western world.
Let's definitely get all the facts on the table. Good, bad, in-between, whatever. If you have opinions, by all means advance them. But sheath the long knives. The last candidate standing has to be in sufficiently good health to take on a sitting president with a war chest that's reached historic proportions. Too much blood-letting in the lead-up to the big campaign will leave him (or her) supine and helpless. (Not to mention that the MSM will happily recycle, only with longer knives, the worst arguments made against the Republican who makes it through the primary gauntlet.)
Having blathered on here, let me say something about conservatives in the main: As the cheerful, neat, polite Tea Party rallies showed, ours is a surprisingly congenial political party. While we may disagree with each other, we do so with civility and respect. Our core values revolve around personal integrity and love for country. Debate enriches, rather than demeans. It is within that spirit that conservatives should be analyzing, challenging and supporting the Republican candidates. If we bring out the long knives now, we run the risk of presenting the nation with a bleeding carcass as the official Republican candidate.
UPDATE: Rob Miller, at JoshuaPundit, expands on my point. As always, when I read something I writes, I smack my forehead and think "I wish I'd said that."
UPDATE II: The Razor weighs in too. He opens with the excellent point that we'd better get everything out on the table now, before the MSM does it for us. I agree with that entirely. My only suggestion is that our tone should be one of inquiry, not one of long-knives attack.

Just-resigned CIA Director David Petraeus says he will testify this week at congressional hearings looking into the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, as new details emerge about the emails that helped end his career. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
Updated at 4:44 p.m. ET: President Barack Obama on Wednesday spiritedly defended U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice over her response to the September attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead, assailing Republican criticism of her as "outrageous."
At his first news conference since winning re-election, the president said Rice has done "exemplary work" and accused GOP critics of trying to "besmirch" her reputation.
President Obama defends U.N. ambassador Susan Rice against criticism from Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham over the Benghazi attacks in Libya.
"I don't think there's any debate in this country that when you have four Americans killed, that's a problem, and we've got to get to the bottom of it and there needs to be accountability. We've got to bring those who carried it out to justice. They won't get any debate from me on that," Obama said sternly.
"But when they go after the U.N. ambassador, apparently because they think she's an easy target, then they've got a problem with me."
Two of Rice's main GOP critics refused to back down.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) discusses the Obama administration's handling of the aftermath of the Benghazi attack, accusing the president of "either a cover-up or incompetence." McCain also vowed to block any nomination of UN Ambassador Susan Rice for secretary of state to replace Hillary Clinton.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said shortly after Obama's news conference that he had "no intention of promoting anyone who is up to their eyeballs in the Benghazi debacle." Sen. John McCain added: "We owe the American people and the families of the murdered Americans a full and complete explanation, which for two months the President has failed to deliver."
Bebeto Matthews / AP file
U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice speaks during a meeting on Syria in the United Nations Security Council, Aug. 30.
Rice has been mentioned as a possible successor to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who has said she will not continue to serve in Obama's second term beginning in January.
Senior Republican senators vowed earlier on Wednesday to block any future promotion of Rice, questioning her initial description of the Sept. 11 violence on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi as a spontaneous outburst rather than a planned attack as unfathomable. Killed in the violence were U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American officials.
"My judgment at this time is that four Americans were killed, and the information that our U.N. ambassador conveyed was clearly false," McCain, R-Ariz., the top GOP senator on the Armed Services Committee, told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference. "There was overwhelming evidence that it was completely false. And she should have known what the situation and circumstances were and not tell the world on all Sunday morning talk shows."
Graham, of South Carolina, supported that stance at the same news conference, saying of Rice, "I don't trust her. And the reason I don't trust her is because I think she knew better, and if she didn't know better, she shouldn't be the voice of America."
The two lawmakers along with Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire are pressing for a special, Watergate-style select Senate committee to investigate the Benghazi attack. They complained that separate inquiries by various Senate panels will fail to get to the bottom of the deadly incident.
Sen. John McCain took to the Senate floor to protest the potential appointment of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice. At issue are Rice's comments that Benghazi was triggered by a video maligning the Prophet Mohammad. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell reports.
Rice has been the focal point of accusations that the Obama administration misled the public about the nature of the Benghazi attack. Five days after the attack, she appeared on several news talk programs and said the attack stemmed from outrage in the Arab world over an anti-Muslim video, not an act of terrorism. The White House later corrected that claim.
Obama wouldn't comment on whether he'd nominate Rice to replace Clinton on his Cabinet. But he said of Rice: "She has done exemplary work."
"She made an appearance at the request of the White House in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence (on Benghazi) that had been provided to her. If Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me – and I'm happy to have that discussion with them," he said animatedly.
"But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador, who had nothing to do with Benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received, and to besmirch her reputation, is outrageous."
Shortly after the president's remarks, Graham issued the following statement:
"Mr. President, don't think for one minute I don't hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi. I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack.
We owe it to the American people and the victims of this attack to have full, fair hearings and accountability be assigned where appropriate. Given what I know now, I have no intention of promoting anyone who is up to their eyeballs in the Benghazi debacle."
McCain said initial Obama administration statements the the Benghazi attack was triggered by a spontaneous demonstration and a hateful video "clearly did not comport with the facts on the ground."
In a statement issued after Obama's news conference, McCain repeated his call for a select committee to be appointed "to obtain a full and complete accounting which would be credible with the American people."
Not all Republican senators agree with the the need for a special select committee.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said she did not "see the benefit" of such an approach, noting the Homeland Security Committee has governmentwide jurisdiction and "a history of producing comprehensive bipartisan reports."
Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn, said assigning the matter to a select committee at this point would be "premature."
David Petraeus, who stepped down as CIA director last week after acknowledging an extramarital affair, has agreed to testify before Congress on the Benghazi attack. He'll go before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday and the House committee on Friday.
Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, said Wednesday that he would like to hear from Petraeus but has yet to formally request a meeting with him.
NBC News Capitol Hill Correspondent Kelly O'Donnell and NBC News Associate Producer Catherine Chomiak contributed to this report.

Interröbang Cartel is something in between one of your ordinary Earth-bands and a collaborative art project. Think of it as a musical collective. Proposed originally by Jacob Haller (jwgh) and named in a discussion between John D Salt and Jeremy Impson (using a phrase coined by TWillis), some people have described the Cartel's behavior as "song fighting": someone proposes a song or album title or concept, practically daring anyone to turn the idea into a workable song. Another person may take up the challenge and write the lyrics, or yet another person may record those lyrics. Sometimes, two people write different lyrics based on the same song concept, or record two different arrangements of the same lyrics. There are even two different track listings for the first album, Needs More Wanger.
An Interrobang is a typographical symbol invented by Martin K. Speckter in 1962. It is supposed to convey a combination of curiosity and wonder. It looks like an exclamation and a question mark superimposed on each other. It didn't really catch on (although it's still available in some fonts), but it's alt.religion.kibology's favorite punctuation mark.
Jacob Haller wrote: "I later added an umlaut over the 'o' in 'Interrobang' because I think all band names should include at least one inappropriately-placed umlaut. Some people dislike the umlaut and sometimes the name will appear without it." Because of this creeping umlaut-ism, Wikipedia mentions Interröbang Cartel in the Heavy metal umlaut entry.
There's another band called The Interrobangs, but they are completely unrelated.

Give a man an opportunity and sometimes he will run with it. Or pass with it.
Texas Tech quarterback Baker Mayfield made history Friday night by becoming the first walk-on freshman quarterback to start a season opener for a football team from an AQ conference, and he put on a show in Texas Tech's road victory at SMU. Mayfield completed 40 passes (out of 56) for a total of 413 yards and four touchdowns as the Red Raiders topped SMU 41-23. Mayfield also led the Red Raiders in rushing, rushing for 16 yards and a touchdown.
Whether or not Mayfield continues to play at this level throughout the season will be something to watch. His debut was certainly a memorable one and helps to get Texas Tech off on a good footing in 2013. Meanwhile, SMU may already be starting to feel some pressure. The Mustangs were the third team from The American to take the field this season and they continued the losing trend for the newly reformed conference (Rutgers and UConn lost Thursday night). The loss had to be a humbling one for the Mustangs, who entered the season opener hoping for more out of their offense.
SMU struggled on third down conversions and committed nine penalties in the game. The biggest problem for SMU was letting the game get away from them in the fourth quarter. For three quarters Texas Tech and SMU were rarely separated by more than a single score, but SMU had nothing left in the tank in the final quarter. Texas Tech outscored SMU 21-7 in the final frame to pull away with the win.

As expected Spike TV will host a one-hour "UFC Prelims" special prior to the pay-per-view-televised main card of August's UFC 118 event.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported earlier this week that the special was in the works.
Spike TV officials today announced the PPV teaser features
Massachusetts-based fighters Joe Lauzon and Jorge Rivera, who
respectively fight Terry Etim and Alessio Sakara at the Boston show.
UFC 118 takes place Aug. 28 at TD Garden in Boston.
Spike TV officials traditionally like to feature former cast members from "The Ultimate Fighter" and UFC Fight Night regulars in the "UFC Prelims" specials. Lauzon appeared on "TUF 5" and Rivera on "TUF 4."
Lauzon (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) looks to bounce back from a January loss to Sam Stout at UFC 108. Lauzon was returning to the cage after a severe knee injury kept him sidelined for nearly a year. Etim (14-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) had pieced together a four-fight win streak with victories over Shannon Gugerty, Justin Buchholz, Brian Cobb and Stout before he ran into a buzz saw and dropped a submission loss to Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 112 in April.
Rivera (18-7 MMA, 8-5 UFC), who began his UFC career with an undistinguished 5-5 record, has seen a career resurgence with recent consecutive wins over Nissen Osterneck, Rob Kimmons and Nate Quarry. Sakara (15-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC) also seeks his fourth straight win following knockouts of Joe Vedepo and James Irvin and a split-decision victory over Thales Leites.
The official UFC 118 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
- Champ Frankie Edgar vs. B.J. Penn (for lightweight title)
- Randy Couture vs. James Toney
- Nate Marquardt vs. Rousimar Palhares
- Kenny Florian vs. Gray Maynard
- Marcus Davis vs. Nate Diaz
(Spike TV)
- Jorge Rivera vs. Alessio Sakara
- Terry Etim vs. Joe Lauzon
- Nik Lentz vs. Andre Winner
- Phil Baroni vs. John Salter
- Nick Osipczak vs. Greg Soto
- Amilcar Alves vs. Mike Pierce

Melon Bee: Well, Melissa is going to have some really neat fabric items, like aprons, cute baby bibs, and sweet iPad covers. She does fun fabric trades with her mom, all the way on the other coast in California. I (Bevin) am going to bring prints of a series I painted… it's an animal for every letter of the alphabet! The originals are colored pencil, ink and water color. I painted all the animals during a pretty miserable winter in Minnesota, and I really believe they helped me maintain some sanity! I have also been working on some little painted panels inspired by Swedish textile patterns lately, and I will have a few at the sale.
TBT: What do you love most about the Spring in Maine?
MB: Well, I actually just moved here in September, and the Fall was beautiful! …So, I haven't experienced a Maine Spring yet, BUT I am super excited because I imagine it's similar to Minnesota. People just come out of hiding, and everyone is thrilled to get outside and take a deep breath of fresh air. There's something about warmer weather after it's been so cold that just makes your whole body relax!
Thanks, Bevin! You can find Melon Bee's creations and more at The BIG THAW Arts, Crafts and Vintage Sale on Saturday, April 16th (this weekend!) at 10 Mayo Street (Mayo Street Arts Center). Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions!

Edward R. Laskowski, M.D.: The bent-over row is an exercise you can do with dumbbells to work the muscles in the back of the shoulder. The bent-over row targets the posterior part of the deltoid in the shoulder. That's important, because many people focus on the muscles at the front of the shoulder. What you really want is balance in the shoulder muscles.
Nicole L. Campbell: To do the bent-over row with a dumbbell, hold a dumbbell in your hand and stand with your feet comfortably apart. For most people, this is about shoulder-width apart. Tighten your abdominal muscles. Bend your knees and lean forward at the hips, keeping your spine nice and straight. Let your arms hang straight below your shoulders and slowly raise the weight until your elbow lines up just below your shoulder and parallel with your spine. Then slowly lower the weight to the starting position. You'll feel tension in the back of your shoulder and the muscles across your upper back.
When doing the bent-over row, do not allow your shoulder to roll forward.
For most people, one set of 12 to 15 repetitions is adequate.
Remember, for best results, don't allow your shoulder to roll forward during the exercise. Hold your shoulder as stationary as possible, keeping your spine neutral, your abdominal muscles tight, and your movements smooth and controlled.

Gameloft Monster Life for iOS
If Pokémon has taught us anything, it's that kids' love for collecting stuff may only be rivaled by their love for fighting and winning. Pokémon isn't likely to venture far beyond Nintendo's own gaming devices anytime soon, of course, but the model it establishes—tiny monsters, short battles, and collector impulses gone wild—seems a perfect fit for the iOS gaming scene. Enter Monster Life by Gameloft, which combines Pokémon-style beastie battles with FarmVille-style upkeep of your own little monster ranch.
Monster Life is technically "free to play," but probably better understood as "pay to win." You start out with a pretty sizable pile of coins, crystals, and friend stones—your three currencies for the game. You'll find, however, that certain currencies run out extremely quickly while prices escalate dramatically. Playing for more than a few seconds at a time can be an endlessly expensive pursuit. Crystals are especially important to keep in stock: Use them to keep your monster in a fight after an inevitable knockout, to play lotteries that award exclusive items, and to speed up various countdown clocks indicating when you can next fight or tend to your monsters' needs. Not coincidentally, crystals are tough to acquire without spending real-world cash.
As for the fights themselves, you don't actually have much room for input besides the option to buy victory. You choose who fights whom, hoping to maximize your damage; you keep an eye out for the "critical hit" button; and you have the option to spend crystals and friend stones anytime to revive your monsters and trigger attack and defense bonuses.
There's nothing wrong with a game that demands no real skill from a player, of course. Games like Tiny Tower, for instance, offer plenty of fun without ever expecting much more from you than tapping on stores to restock them. It feels a bit disingenuous, though, when this kind of revenue model is grafted onto a game that purports to be about competition. The characters in Monster Life speak constantly about being the "best" monster trainer, but really all that's required is deep pockets or endless patience, a few seconds at a time. It's also potentially troubling that the game is so clearly styled for children to play, given the rather overt emphasis on gambling and the strong encouragement to rapidly burn through currency. You get decent bang for your buck early on in the game, but stick with it long enough, and two dollars for a hundred or so crystals won't get you quite as far as it used to.
Nevertheless, Monster Life does pretty effectively pile on the charm. Between wacky music, adorable papercraft-style monster dolls, and occasionally bizarre touches of humor (like entertaining your monster with a disco dance party), this game has genuine personality. As long as you're comfortable popping in for a minute here and there—scrubbing clean a baby dragon, collecting income from a giant Anubis statue, or staging the occasional battle—Monster Life has something to offer. Just don't expect to visit for much longer unless you're willing to fork over your rent money.

Seriously? This is the team the Packers have beaten twice, including a 34-0 ass-whooping? Some of these guys are deserving — Adrian Peterson, Steve Hutchinson, the Willams duo — but Darren Sharper? Sorry, Sharper used to play at a Pro Bowl level, but no longer.
More here.
Money quote:
The Packers are tied for the best record in the NFC at 12-2 and swept the Vikings this season, including a 34-0 smackdown on Nov. 11. Yet, the Vikings have twice as many starters in the Pro Bowl. Someone — anyone — tell me how this makes sense.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy immediately should be admitted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Anyone who can take a team with so little talent — according to the Pro Bowl voting released today — to the brink of gaining the No. 1 seed in the NFC deserves unanimous approval as coach of the year and should have his salary tripled.

Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, and Helena Bonham Carter were at the photocall for The King's Speech today at the London Film Festival, screening tonight for a home audience. Needless to say, this will be the film that sweeps the BAFTAs, right?
Colin seems to be working out a curious little side lean action here. Not as extreme as Tom Cruise Junior Lautner's, but it's there nonetheless, only on Colin, well, a lot sexier, non? I love him. I love them all. Of course I love Helena Bonham Carter. And I never understand why people bother pointing out her crazy clothes. This bitch is Bellatrix Lestrange. You want her to walk around in J Crew?
This, then, is surprisingly tame by her standards. She looks gorgeous. Like a hot weird school teacher. I'm into it.
As you know, after TIFF, I am also very, very into The King's Speech, due out at the end of November, and a feel-good movie for the season. You'll adore this film. I promise.

After all, big game fishing should be about being free of worldly distractions, facing the challenge of battling a trophy pelagic. Hemingway wouldn't have had it any other way.
Sounds great, just you, the boat, the fish, and the sea, but is that realistic? Have you ever had that sinking feeling when you realize that you left your phone on the dresser and are miles away? It's like that dream where you suddenly realize you forgot to put your clothes on, being disconnected makes you feel uncomfortable, almost naked. You may not actually need to send that text, but it sure is reassuring to know you can.
Today staying connected is a necessity for most people even while on the boat. You are offshore fishing and suddenly remember that it is your turn to pick up your son from basketball practice. Business deals open and close in cyberspace at a moment's notice and no one wants to miss an opportunity. There are also times when only you can put out that proverbial fire. Better to deal with it now than get back ashore to find an office or family situation spinning out of control.
All is not lost even if venturing offshore is your escape from the everyday rat race. You can stay connected, on your own terms with the m2500 system and app from mazu-Marine. It is a text and data service so you won't be interrupted by phones ringing as you are reeling in your catch. The Sport Fishing app is the ideal solution for fishermen as it is an easy and affordable way to stay connected when your fishing takes you beyond WiFi and cellular service.
Traditional satellite communication systems require expensive hardware and complicated installation of large domes. Satellite phones have costly service subscriptions just to make a phone call and can't provide other basic services like the weather. Now, there is an affordable way to stay connected wherever you go using your own cell phone, tablet or any other device with a browser.
The easy to install mSeries hardware creates a Wi-Fi hotspot aboard your boat that connects you to satellites using the Iridium network. Simply launch a browser from any device on board and connect to the system for access to functions like Email, SMS Texting, and weather.
For more advanced functions and to use mazu when away from the boat download the iPad app. The iPad app provides additional functionality, is easy to use, and can connect to WiFi or cellular anywhere it is available, or connect to the system for satellite access while on board. Aside from all the great features, you get with the iPad app the ability to connect onshore saves you money since you don't have to use your Connection plan airtime until you are away from shoreside service.
The iPad app allows you to send and receive email and text messages, provides navigation, weather and fishing features designed for blue water cruisers from anywhere in the world.
mazu offers many features and benefits unavailable with a satellite phone. Weather is subject to change without much notice on offshore fishing trips. With the Sport Fishing app, you can access current and seven-day advanced forecasts that provide wind and wave heights during your voyage. You can subscribe to and receive NOAA weather alerts, and download and view graphic imagery through NEXRAD. You can also access live buoy data and study tropical weather advisories and updates. These weather features are valuable on long-range offshore trips or when simply running out to a fishing area beyond cellular coverage.
Practical navigation features are available at your fingertips. Use on-screen tracking with NOAA nautical charts. Plot and edit routes, modify waypoints and activate waypoint alarms all in one, and view it all in real time on the dashboard. NMEA data from other onboard systems can also be shown.
Two-way communication, weather, and navigation are practical uses of the app. The Sport Fishing app has advanced fishing features that can put you on the fish faster.
Sea Surface Temperature and Chlorophyll imagery help find tournament-winning, client-pleasing, connections with billfish and other pelagic big game fish.
The SST and Chlorophyll maps remove guesswork by eliminating vast, unproductive areas so you can fish in warmer waters preferred by billfish and tuna. Conversely, you can find the lowest temperature that holds offshore gamefish for late season trips. Temperature breaks are easy to find, and satellite data is updated twice daily.
Finding phytoplankton blooms helps hone in on areas with a stacked food chain attractive to bait and billfish. The Chlorophyll feature allows you to find all. You can quickly overlay chlorophyll charts and easily see water clarity to find the best areas, while eliminating unproductive water.
Get started by downloading the Mazu Sport Fishing iPad app from the Apple App Store. ($129) Convenient connection plans like the $99 monthly plan include 10-point forecasts, up to 100 SMS/mazuChat messages, 100 position reports, SAR service and 50,000 additional bytes of data.
The onboard hardware includes the ISI-2000 module, illuminated keypad and Smart Antenna. Cost is $995 and includes all the equipment you need to set up your Mazu satellite system. Designed for easy do-it-yourself installation, mazu is great for all types of boats.
Mazu and the mSeries system also provides emergency response. Triggering an SOS sends an emergency signal with your vessels name and current position to dispatchers. They can follow up with you via text to determine the nature of the emergency and dispatch SAR response as needed. This service is available globally 24/7 365 days a year.

Coating makes scratches on cars disappear when exposed to sunlight
|(Nanowerk News) Scientists have developed a polyurethane coating that heals its own scratches when exposed to sunlight, offering the promise of scratch-free cars and other products.
|"We developed a polymeric material that is able to repair itself by exposure to the sun," said Marek Urban of the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, whose study appears in the journal Science ("Self-Repairing Oxetane-Substituted Chitosan Polyurethane Networks").
|"In essence, you create a scratch and that scratch will disappear upon exposure to the sun," Urban said in an interview on the Science website.
|The self-healing coating uses chitosan, a substance found in the shells of crabs and shrimp. This is incorporated into traditional polymer materials, such as those used in coatings on cars to protect paint.
|When a scratch damages the chemical structure, the chitosan responds to ultraviolet light by forming chemical chains that begin bonding with other materials in the substance, eventually smoothing the scratch. The process can take less than an hour.
|Urban said the new coating uses readily available materials, offering an advantage over other self-repairing coatings, which he said were "fairly elaborate and economically unfeasible."
|The team tested the compound's properties using a razor-blade-thin scratch. "We haven't done any of the tests to show how wide it can be," Urban said in a telephone interview.
|He said the polymer can only repair itself in the same spot once, and would not work after repeated scratches.
|Obviously, this is one of the drawbacks," he said, adding that the chances are low of having two scratches in exactly the same spot.
|Howell Edwards, who leads the chemical and forensic sciences division of the University of Bradford in Britain, said the findings were novel.
|"Clearly, there are future applications of this work in the repair of automotive components, which extensively use polyurethane polymers, that have suffered minor damage," Edwards said in a statement.
|Urban said the coating could be used in packaging or furniture or anything that requires a high-performance type of coating.
|"You can dream up anything you desire," he said.
|Urban said his team has patents pending on the material and is considering commercialization.

Section 3.1.1 of the provisional AL specification describes the different states of OpenMAX AL objects. Specifically it says:
Unrealized (initial state): The object is alive but has not allocated resources. It is
not yet usable; its interfaces' methods cannot yet be called.
This means the application would have to create an object first using the engine and then call Realize on its object interface to be able to query some object-specific interfaces. I guess that the ConfigExtensionsItf can also not be used until the object has reached the Realized state.
So, let's assume I have some implementation of OpenMAX AL which needs to allocate resources for some objects that are not covered by the specification. Without those resources the object would not be able to work properly (or not work at all). So, I would expect from the application to set some key-value pairs via the ConfigExtensionsItf for the object to initialize itself correctly.
How could this problem be solved? One idea would be to (mis-)use the engine's ConfigExtensionsItf before creating the object in question. Another would be to initialize the object with some default values nevertheless, although it would be quite useless from the application's view, but then again I think this would make the application more portable.
Any suggestions how to solve this? Or did I even misunderstand the usage of the ConfigExtensionsItf?
